You could rattle can it. Realistically, they should charge about $100.

rattle can it! save money. just put several coats and let it dry in between. then wet sand it on your last coat and polish it. should look fine

Maaco would be fine for sideskirts. Just do all the prep work before you take them to Maaco. Ask for clear coat as well.

That price is absurd. Do you know anyone in HS body shop? I would remove the skirts myself, clean them, and prep them (scratches,etc.).
